DESCRIPTION

sm_confsymon configures machines that are running Solstice SyMON software as an agent host (the server that is being monitored) and as the event monitor host (the machine that is monitoring the agent host).

This command is run on the respective machines used as agent host and event monitor host.

For further details on the operation of sm_confsymon please see the Solstice SyMON User's Guide.

OPTIONS

-s

Configures the server being monitored so it will identify the machine that is being used as the event monitor host. The machine name of monitoring machine is specified as event_host.

-v

Selects verbose mode, in which the system will echo all actions performed and will request permission to continue.

-k

Sets polling interval time for sm_krd to the number of seconds given as polling_time (default is 10 seconds).

-c

Sets polling interval time for sm_configd to the number of seconds given as polling_time (default is 10 seconds).

-p

Modifies disk error message level in kernel and in /etc/system to log soft errors for PFA.

-i

Sets sampling interval time to the number of seconds given as sampling_time (default is 10 seconds).

-U

Sets the user ID used by sm_logscand (when included with the -s option) or sets the user ID used by sm_egd (when included with the -e option). The user ID is automatically generated when you provide the user name as the value of user_name.

-e

Configures the machine doing the monitoring so it will identify the server that it is monitoring. The machine name of the monitored machine is specified as server_host.

-M

Sets the maximum number of events, given as max_errors, before trimming

(default is 1000 events).

-S

Causes SNMP traps to be sent to the machine given as hostname.

-P

Specifies the type of platform that is being monitored. This value, platform_name, is the result of running the uname -i command on the server being monitored (such as SUNW,SPARCserver-1000 ).

If you do not specify this option, sm_symonconfig will prompt you to enter the number of a platform type from a list it displays. Configuration will not continue until you specify the platform type. You can enter the number 0 to exit at this point.

-D

Completely removes the currently installed Solstice SyMON configuration.
